That night, we began to gather at the funeral for Qui-Gon. Before walking into the temple, I spot the passive faces of Obi-Wan and Anakin. "Milady," I say quietly, getting Padmé's attention.

"Yes?" she asks. I turn my gaze to the Jedi standing not too far away. She nods her head, and I make my way over to them.

Obi-Wan was gazing at his feet, sadness clouding his blue eyes. Anakin saw me approaching and lightly tugged on his sleeve. The former Padawan brought his eyes up and sees me. His eyes meet mine as I halt in front of them.

"I am very sorry for your loss," I tell him. "I cannot imagine what it's like. I wish you good fortune."

He sends me a small smile. "Thank you, milady," Obi-Wan replies, bowing his head slightly. "I am sorry for yours also."

"Jedi Knight. That is a high honor," I repeat my words from only a few days ago.

"I believe so." Anakin looked slightly confused at our words, even more so as we grin.

"If we don't speak again before your parting then I'd just like to say that I hope to one day see you again," I say.

"To you as well." Obi-Wan's eyes sparkle. "Although, under better circumstances."

I smile slightly. Then I look down at Anakin, who still stands beside him. "Anakin." His gaze meets mine. "Always remember where you came from. Not to bring you down. It will help you stay grounded in the years and hardships to come."

The little blond boy smiles at my words, and I leave them. I catch some of little Skywalker's words as I walk into the temple. "You two seem friendly," he says to Obi-Wan.

Qui-Gon's body goes up in flames as everyone watches. Somber expressions were present all around.

The next morning is a celebratory parade. People threw flowers on the passing Gungan soldiers from the buildings towering above the central plaza. The crowds cheer. Queen Amidala stands next to Palpatine, Governor Bibble, Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Captain Panaka. Us handmaidens stand behind them and Jedi Council members stand nearby.

Boss Nass rides ontop of a kaadu, as well as Jar Jar and another General. They stop before the grand steps before walking up them. Padmé steps forward to greet them. Bibble hands the Globe of Peace to the Queen and she hands it to Boss Nass with a smile.

Boss Nass shouts, "Peace!" while holding up the sphere. The crowds cheer louder. This is truly a day to remember.
